Highlights
Pet care experience
House Sitting | Home all day
** I’m home full-time during stays, so your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day.** I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds including Labs, Goldendoodles, Dachshunds, Maltipoos, Pomeranians, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and more. Many of my clients have become repeat clients, including one dachshund I’ve been consistently caring for twice a week for almost a year while his owner is at work. I’m also experienced with longer-term house sitting and can be flexible around ongoing care routines. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including post-surgery recovery, administering medication, and dogs wearing cones or needing extra attention and patience. I’m also very comfortable with cats of all personalities—both social and more shy or skittish cats. I grew up with a very timid cat, so I understand how important it is to give animals space, patience, and a calm presence. I started pet sitting because I genuinely love animals, and while I can’t commit to having one full-time right now, I enjoy being able to care for and bond with them through my work. I work remotely 8–5, so I’m home throughout the day. My job is not meeting-heavy, which allows me to provide consistent attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and updated throughout the stay! 😊

Ratings and reviews
Dana was great! Our dog chili loved her and she kept us well updated.
Dana was amazing! Very attentive to not only Charlotte but my needs as a dog mommy as well! Cannot wait for her tons it for Charlotte again!
Dana was an amazing house/dog/cat sitter and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She had to deal with our very high energy puppy, anxious small dog and elusive cat and she did a wonderful job with all three. It was also such a relief to come home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!
Dana was amazing! She was able to make friends with my older, and a bit stubborn Dachshund Zeppelin. She was punctual and took great care of him while I was away. It was a great feeling knowing that my buddy was being cared for in a loving and safe manner. I will have her care for him again without a doubt.
Dana is wonderful! Took great care of my babies and home. If she is available, I will absolutely love to have her watch Bella & Jaxx Again. She was very aware of their feeding and special needs plus walked them daily!
I couldn’t be more grateful for the relationship Dana has with my dog. I always have so much anxiety leaving my Peaches to anyone. But I can rely on Dana every time! You would think Peaches likes Dana more than me. Every time she sees Dana she doesn’t want to leave her side. Dana truly loves every dog and she’s so gentle with them. Not only does she love them so much but she understands their need. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Schedule
I work a corporate 8-5 position that is fully remote, my job isn’t too busy so I’m flexible. I typically have a lot of breaks and rarely have meetings.
